Hi @Owlunar@TAB@Razzle@Zoe7@Shaz51

@Faith-and-Hope 

I am home now from work with a shocking headache. Sore back and stomach think it’s reflux. The door where I had shingles hurts but no blisters. 

My doctor says I can have the shingles vaccine but It needs to be 12 months of no shingles to get the vaccine. 

Just spoke to my doctor and he is writing out a script for sleeping meds. I need to get bsvk into a sleeping routine snd nit wake up 2-3 times a night. Will go soon and pick up script. 

Im feeling depressed again 

@Razzle I’m sorry to read about the young guy in your town. Thst is so terrible and so young. 

Hope you’re ok ❤️

Hi @Zoe7 how’s your day 

@Owlunar Whst hsvr you been up to?

Hi @BlueBay hope sleep helps doesn’t sound pleasant. I googled it yesterday apparently it’s something to do with chicken pox? Who knew

[Zoe7]

Pleased you are getting some help with your sleep @BlueBay - hope that helps to get you back into a routine 

I have had a long day but it is over now. The principal wasn't there today as she had so much to do but the regular teacher was still around - he just did his own thing though so it was more like I was taking the class on my own - only took 5 weeks lol

I gave Toby a cuddle from you - he is such a happy little fella ...and now he has 2 new toys (gotta love Kmart lol) He probably won't even play with them - he does tend to only play with a select few anyway 

Got DBT and appointments tomorrow and if I have enough time I will go to Bunnings - my GP app is close to my pdoc one though so I might not have enough time. If I can get away from home early enough I can go before DBT - so I might try for that. It all gets pretty manic from here in for the next week so as much as I can get done when I can do it I need to do. Think it will be an early night tonight though as I am really tired today.

@BlueBay  Just a quick checkin, hope you have been able to get the shingles sorted, I hope they haven’t progressed.

Its not been a great day for me, I’m heading to bed.  I’m feeling very low at the moment, just want to put this day behind me.  Chat tomorrow ❤️❤️

Thanks @Razzle for checking in. 

Blisters have appeared which is good but there is slight burning pain on the area.  Yesterday my stomach played up with intense pain and a migraine. I spoke to my doctor who after complaining I wake up 2-3 times a night he decided to write a script for sleeping meds for a week. Hoping to get bsvk intio a good sleeping routine. 

I know this time of year is not good for you. Thinking of you. It’s these times that we are all here for each other. Hugs ❤️❤️

Hope you have a nice day. Tske it easy.

Hi @BlueBay

Sorry about the shingles - did your doctor give you a script for antivirals - I saw something on TV about that yesterday - you have to wait a year between outbreaks of shingles as you said but the antivirals have to start really early so I hope you have to them

I'm sorry Huffnpuff got narky about your big beautiful dog running around the garden and of course big dogs need a lot of space - the garden looks fantastic and you were so excited and I would be too - aw - I felt irritated about that myself - why have something and not enjoy the whole garden and the dog - like you said - he gets irritable about small things that no one else cares about - but the dog won't move the sleepers

And sleepers - yes - sleeping tablets - I hope they help you get back into a good routine sleeping - the middle of the night is a wonderful time for your triggers to get up and walk around inside your head - sleeping is vitally important to health

I haven't been doing much - the last couple of days I was watching TV and slept a lot - I must have been tired - I take BP Medication that makes me drowsy sometimes and I fall asleep watching TV and being headachey I really didn't mind - but I'm okay today

Thinking of you

Hi @Owlunar@Razzle@Shaz51@Zoe7

I just read my post - I was meant to write - I DON’T have the blisters. But it’s sore. I’ve got another headache like migraine. I spoke to the other doctor at the clinic as mine was away tiday. I told him my mood is really down. No motivation.  He asked a few questions snd suggested I call him sgsin yonight. I spoke to him and he asked how’s my mood. He asked about self harm and suicide snd I told him it’s on my mind. 

Yeah hubby dog dnd sleepers - I’m ignoring his whinging !!! 

Hoping snother good night of sleep as I’ll take snother sleeping tab. 

Hope you’re ok after your rest this afternoon. 

I better go snd cook dinner. Spag bol yonight.  Chat soon. Xx

[Zoe7]

Hopefully another early night and some sleep will help a little with your mood too BB - lack of sleep plays with our mind and things can seem so much worse when we are tired.

Enjoy your spag bol - chat later @BlueBay
